 Every Christmas Eve, kids across America leave out milk and cookies for Santa — but why that snack? In this festive mini-episode, William explores the surprising history behind the tradition, from ancient Norse offerings to Odin’s eight-legged horse, to European St. Nicholas customs, to Great Depression lessons in generosity — all the way to Coca-Cola’s iconic Santa and the postwar cookie-baking boom. Along the way, we’ll look at how different countries feed their Christmas visitors, and whether milk and cookies really make you sleepy. 

A cozy, sweet look at one of the world’s simplest holiday rituals — and the centuries of magic behind it.
